Also if I can ask why 250.00? NOt that im questioning your price or anything but I know a reg. place charges like in the neighborhood of 150 bucks? Myself and a previous poster were wondering if there was extra labor or why the dealership would be charging 425.00 for a trans filter, gasket, fill?

Thanks.

I check and verifier transmission fluid level and condition, then the vehicle is road tested for correct shift points with no slippage. Once on the lift the tech checks for any visible leaks, front cooler lines, any transmission leaks which includes front and rear transmission seals and differential. Front and rear flex discs are inspected, drive shaft inspected for any dents or looseness. The customer is informed of any potential problems.


Once the visual inspection is completed the transmission pan is removed and inspected for excessive debris, if minimal the pan is cleaned and a magnet added, filter and pan gasket changed. Transmission flusher/exchange is connected in sires to a cooler line, 4 quarts are added into the pan (my machine has that feature) the vehicle is started and the transmission flush / exchange begins. That a lot of labor for $250.


A transmission fluid flush/ exchange does not cause transmission failure, what are you hearing.
